I lost my wife in December after nearly a year of being ill. We were together for 30 years, 27 married. At first I was a complete mess. I depended on family and friends to get me through. In addition I moved out of state and dealing with financial issues. I'm doing better now but each week or so I'm experiencing new feelings and thoughts. I'm nervous because I don't know what comes next. Confusing emotions and feelings I didn't expect some difficult to share and some causing guilt. Sometimes I don't know if I should act on or bury the emotions. I just needed to share with people who understand what I'm going through.Thand you for listening.

Oh, you've had other major life changes at nearly the same time. I hope you are able to give yourself a lot of grace and rest. I completely fell apart for the last two years. A few months after losing my partner, I finally broke off parts of my toxic birth family although to be clear, they were never a source of support or kindness. While I know it was best for me, it's still difficult. I joined a couple of facebook groups, which helped particularly in the early days. After some time, I started weaning off of them and focusing on life stuff. It helps to have people who understand the noise in our heads.
